Practical Japanese Conversation for Business People Intermediate 1

Here is a textbook with the goal of teaching the learner how to smoothly converse with people in business situations. The aim of the book is to have the learner engage in smooth interaction with others via the thorough practice of the conversations in the book, and to that end, each chapter has the following sections: "Dialog," "Expressions," "Conversation Practice 1" and "Conversation Practice 2," which used together allow for progressive practice. Particularly in the conversation practice sections, in learning how to progress with a conversation in various situations, the learner can practice the conscious deployment of words and expressions, so he/she doesn‘t just memorize the expressions but can connect them to his or her own situation. Once the learner has completed this book, he/she can go onto the next book in the series, Intermediate 2, and then on to the Advanced text to truly polish his/her practical business conversational skills.
